This unique learning environment for students is an ideal way to introduce PMA Positive Mental Attitude and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to primary and secondary schools.

By creating a party atmosphere the learning is already set above the norm and pupils are intrigued. They are delighted with the opportunity to gain new life skills and have some fun!

Whether a 2.5 hour, half day or full day session students will gain tools from NLP (neuro linguistic programming) studies and life skills teachings to equip them with an interest in maintaining this attitude for the rest of their lives.

The positivity that students will gain, leads to enhanced motivation and productivity which is great for both your school and on a personal level for you students. They feel more positive, energised and have improved self belief and self esteem.

At all our workshop we cover :

The importance of planning, focusing, visualising & writing down goals & having FUN

The methodologies

These workshops are all delivered using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) tools & techniques, which your pupils are sure to retain as they associate this workshop with laughter & fun. Positive Parties is unique in that the learning is ‘party style’ and the interactive games provide such a different way for pupils to become associated to thinking ‘outside the box’ and getting out of their ‘comfort zones’. The music, games, prizes and party bags all create the fun party atmosphere where inspiration, motivation & transformation can begin.

We discuss both the excitement and fears that your pupils might have about life in general, the workload and the expectations and choices they have to make for their future.

We also incorporate the teachings of Sir Ken Robinson, educator and author of ‘In Your Element.’

People LOVE Positive Parties

Positive Parties

We had Positive Parties along to St Mary’s College, for 2 full days in November 2013. The Year 10 girls really enjoyed this interactive and fun experience, learning lots of new and very useful tools, from the teachings of Neuro Linguistic Programming, on how to be and stay positive. We had Denise back on the 28th Aug 2014 to deliver to 135 Year 8’s on their first day and it was just the boost they needed after a morning of tests. Such a great way for the girls to remember their first day at our school.

Positive Parties have been to Killen Primary School on three occasions and we look forward to their return. The first contact with the school was regarding the ‘Go for it’ Positive Parties Year 7 leaving workshop in June, 2012. We were so impressed and happy with the workshop that we were more than happy to welcome Denise back in June, 2013 and subsequently for the ‘Positive Transfer Workshop’ in October, 2013. I have no hesitation in recommending the Positive Parties workshops and Denise Devlin to other schools. They live up to their names in being very positive and promote positive mental well being.

Denise, Thank you very much. The Positive Parties experience for both our Sixth Formers and Year 10’s was amazing and our video project with all the glowing testimonials says it all. We hope to have Positive Parties back again soon

Positive Parties

We decided to run a Positive Party for our student leadership team to build their confidence and get them to see just how talented they are. Many of the messages and affirmations delivered during the party stated with the girls during their year of responsibility. In fact, Denise was quoted in the Head Girl's end of year speech!
So overwhelming was the response from that first group of students that we invited Denise back to deliver another party for this year's team, with similar outcomes. Denise has a natural ability to engage and enthuse all ages (we benefitted too!) and delivers her message in a way that sticks with you when life crashes back in post party!

Positive Parties

Firstly the 6th Year took part in the Positive Party workshop, they benefited greatly from this experience and will take many tips about being positive, especially with their exams coming up!

Then all of our citizenship class attended the workshop. We played games and had lots of fun interacting with each other, but most of all we learnt how to lift our spirits when we are down and have a more positive attitude about things. Out of all the workshops I personally think this is the one I learned the most from. Also, this workshop gave us tips on everyday life which are very useful. My highlight of Positive Parties would have to be the prizes we won, this certainly added to the enjoyment! This was a great experience and will come in very useful in life.” May 2014

Positive Parties

The best part of the day though was the POSITIVE PARTY with Denise!! She taught us about perception of ourselves and others, how to make a good impression in the workplace and just the importance of positivity in life! The day was so amazing, and I'm so glad I was given this opportunity to hear these inspirational things!!
